Albany Prosecutor John Sarcone Found Guilty of Professional Misconduct

John Sarcone, appointed by President Trump as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York, has been found guilty of professional misconduct by a New York judicial committee.

Federal Judge Dismisses Defamation Suit Against Fox News by Former Trump Supporter

Federal Judge Dismisses Defamation Suit Against Fox News by Former Trump Supporter

A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Raymond Epps against Fox News. Epps, a former supporter of President Trump and a member of the Oath Keepers, claimed that Fox News broadcast false conspiracy theories about his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. These claims led to death threats against him, forcing him and his wife to sell their Arizona ranch and live in a recreational vehicle. The lawsuit accused Fox News of falsely portraying Epps as a government operative inciting violence to discredit Trump supporters. The judge ruled that Epps failed to provide sufficient evidence that Fox News knowingly aired false information with 'actual malice,' a necessary legal standard for defamation cases. This decision marks the second time the court has dismissed Epps' claims, despite allowing him to revise and refile his lawsuit.

New York Governor Hochul Supports Trump's School Choice Program, Impacting State Education

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced her decision to opt the state into a new federal private school choice program, part of a domestic policy bill signed into law by President Trump. This program allows taxpayers to receive dollar-for-dollar tax credits for donations to organizations that provide private school scholarships. The policy, set to take effect next year, aims to direct taxpayer funds to families for private school enrollment. Hochul's decision makes her one of the first Democratic governors to participate, highlighting a division among Democratic leaders regarding the program. The program allows individual taxpayers to claim a federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for donations to nonprofit organizations that award scholarships to K-12 students. These scholarships can also cover costs for public school students, but the majority of funds are expected to support private school attendance.
